Sandwich's are good.... Not outstanding. I also bought some bacon from the butcher counter. It was so fatty that it was hard to enjoy.

MEAT SWEATS WITH MAIN STREET MEATS | just kidding we had just the right amount of meat to NOT give us meat sweats - I was craving a steak and we apologized profusely as we were seated outside (with our pup) right before closing time at 8:30pm. However, the server was super nice and didn't care that we had arrived so late. We got a fun little impromptu light show since the fire station across the street had an emergency so that was exciting. We went big with the Bear Creek Farm 48 day dry-aged porterhouse, served with bordelaise & mashed potatoes. The steak was juicy and tender, although the fat could have been rendered a LITTLE more, but I still enjoyed the nearly perfect medium rare. The server also recommended the autumn squash which may not have looked like much but was delicious.it was a hearty meal for 2 - maybe lacking in some greens but one meal without greens can't kill us... We were convinced to order the PB&J Cream Cheese Panna Cotta - and even though we were stuffed it was a fun way to end the meal. It really tasted like we were eating an elevated PB&J in panna cotta form. We will 100% be back for the burger, tallow fries and a cocktail next time we're in town...

We travel thru Chatty several times a year and this time we had our pup. The outdoor patio allows dogs so we decided to give it a try. Wow. If we lived near it we would go every week. The whiskey flight ( for the non-driver ) was excellent. The food was fantastic. Service was exceptional even on a really busy night. LOVED the relaxed vibe and the FRESH menu selection. There were 4 of us and ALL of us loved everything we ordered from drinks to food. They even bring a water bowl for your dog. This is a must try, folks!

It's been some time since we first visited Main Street Meats. The restaurant itself is rather small, though they have probably doubled their seating capacity by extending into what was formerly the sidewalk area. Their additional business is as a purveyor of fresh meat products, both to the local consumer, as well as some of the restaurants here in Chattanooga. There is absolutely no doubting the quality of their fresh meats. Since I was the first of our party to arrive, I spent twenty minutes or so relaxing at the bar, sampling a couple drafts, and swapping stories with the bartender, and some of the other locals. If I wasn't driving that, I would have sampled one, or maybe two, of those custom drinks. It was surprising just how many different whiskies they had in their small, but comfortable bar. MSM has the reputation locally as serving the best burger in town. Having enjoyed that burger during my first visit to Chattanooga years ago, before we moved here, I would agree. While for this evening I chose another entree, one member of our party was able to reconfirm just how incredible that burger still is. I chose the Pork Coppa, a cut of pork with which I was unfamiliar. It was served with cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and a whole grain mustard sauce. It was absolutely, unbelievably delicious. My daughter had insisted I order the potato salad as well. It was most like a German Potato Salad, and she was right, it too was so incredibly tasty. I sampled her trout as well, another safe selection for those who prefer fish to meat. Our visit was on Christmas Eve, and we had three children between the ages of three and six. The staff went out of their way to make sure we all enjoyed our eating experience. What a delightful evening.
